Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eyeing Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.
Arteta is prepared to meet the release clause of Partey, says Libertad Digital.
He is willing to pay his £42milliion ($54m) release clause.
The report claims Arsenal have already made contact with Partey's representatives over a summer move.
It is believed they will need to convince the Ghana international to move to London though with the report claiming he is content playing for Diego Simeone.
